Cardiovascular big ideas - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. Heart health reflects body health,
ALWAYS address foundations first
2. Heart disease results from the over consumption of processed foods
3. Inflammation is a significant cause of the most common form of heart disease
,Describe how the foundations support the endocrine system - CORRECT ANSWER: -
Every endocrine organ has a mineral it is dependent on
-EFAs and other fats are essential to the endocrine system, the body can not make
hormones without fats
-Hydration supports the transportation of hormones throughout the body
-Poor BSR leads to adrenal exhaustion which can negatively affect hormonal balance in
the body, therefor affecting the endocrine system.
Describe how the foundations support the immune system - CORRECT ANSWER: 1.
Properly prepared nutrient dense diet support WBCs and provide precursors
2. Imbalances can weaken adrenals which decrease system. Chronic elevated BS
suppresses immunity by decreasing WBC activity
3. Mineral balance- zinc is a natural wound healer, iodine is a natural antibiotic
4. Fatty Acids- inflammation management, FA imbalance can increase intolerances
5. Hydration - H2O needed to keep lungs moist for barriers, dehydration exaggerates
histamine response
6. Intact gut lining ensure pyers patches work effectively. Gut is location for 70-80%
immune function
Detox big ideas - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. Detox is a parasympathetic process!
2. Detox frees vital cellular and organ activities to function properly and efficiently
3. Never detox without addressing the foundations, ALL ELIMINATION PATHWAYS
MUST BE OPEN
Endocrine System Big Ideas - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. The endocrine system is a
system of complex relationships: we need to support the system as a WHOLE not as it's
parts.
2. Respect endocrine individuality
,Explain the relationship between cardiovascular health and inflammation - CORRECT
ANSWER: Most cVD starts with inflammation (ex. heavy and irregular breathing,
swelling at end of day, coughing at night, blushing, cramping)
Food allergy - CORRECT ANSWER: true allergy to protein component in food
glycation - CORRECT ANSWER: Caused by an elevation in blood sugar, glycation is
the binding of a protein molecule to a glucose molecule resulting in the formation of
damaged, nonfunctioning structures, known as Advanced Glycation End products(
a.k.a. AGES). Glycation alters protein structures and decreases biological activity.

How can HRT/ BHRT exacerbate problems - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. When given a
single hormone, it directly overrides the negative feedback loop from the hypothalamus
and pituitary to the recieving organ. This means the body thinks that it doesn't need to
make hormones because it's getting it from an outside source. No signal to promote or
stop is made so this leads to symptoms of deficiency. This makes the dose of
replacement need to increase.
2. When taken exogenously, this can increase the stress response and increase cortisol
3. w/out proper testing it can increase other unwanted hormones
4. Create hormonal resistance
How do the foundations affect detoxification - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. Nutrient dense
proper diet in the correct proportion
2. Digestion of proteins to support the phase 1 and phase 2 detox in the liver
3. BSR imbalance decreases vitamins which decreases liver enzyme production
4. Fats are essential for storing and protecting toxins away from organs. Also important
for bile production
5. Minerals- certain minerals keep toxins collected in tissues. hydration and minerals
buffer blood pH
How does chronic stress impact the endocrine system? - CORRECT ANSWER:
*Cortisol.pregnenalone steal*
, The adrenals continue to pump cortisol, body shuttles all available nutrient to making
cortisol. This means that the cholesterol based hormones have few precursers left to be
made.
How the foundations affect CV Health - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. Properly prepared
nutrient dense diet essential in making sure we get all of our important vitamins for heart
health like B1 and B4 that naturally occur in grains
2. Good protein digestion is essential for digestion of the Amino Acids essential in heart
health and tissue repair
3. BSR imbalance = cortisol overload =insulin resistance = compromised mineral uptake
= blocking of the PG1 pathway
4, Fatty Acid balance- omega 3s are involved in heart health and decreasing
inflammation. Essential part of cell membranes in the heart
5. Minerals - Mg&Ca (Contraction and relaxation of the heart
Immune/Allergy big ideas - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. Always address foundations first
(esp digestion ~70/80% immune system is here)
2. To improve, strengthen defenses and remove triggers
3. To resolve intolerances, remove allergies and sensitivities
insulin resistance - CORRECT ANSWER: the inability of the cells to respond to insulin
due to excess insulin circulating throughout the body, leading to desensitization
Intolerance/sensitivity - CORRECT ANSWER: develop due to allergic type reaction to
something else in the food (over exposure to protein, poor digestion)
